It is time! Our new version 3 releases of avast! Mobile Security, avast! Anti-Theft and our initial version 1 release of the new product avast! Backup go out of our top-secret high security labs and take peek into the world.

But we'll not give it to millions of people without having a few early-adopters look at what we did and tell us it's OK to go so we hereby announce our avast! Mobile Beta test. The Beta test just started and will run for a full week. It will hopefully give us valuable feedback that we can incorporate into our product before going public officially.

Note that this release also incorporates a premium line on top of our free offering. DON'T PANIC - Rest assured, everything that WAS free WILL STAY FREE!. Everything that is premium, is NEW features!

Here is what comes up:

avast! Mobile Security

Some UI rework: simple new dashboard

App Locking: Protect applications by password (premium)

Ad Detector or the Advanced Privacy Advisor: Scan applications for presence of the most common ad networks giving you insight into what type of information is gathered (premium)

avast! Anti-Theft

Advanced Web Features

Take pictures (premium)

Record audio (premium)

Collect contacts, call log and SMS (premium)

Send SMS from your phone (premium)

I've just entered the public beta, and successfully downloaded all three components. Both AV and anti-theft installed without an issue, with root privileges. I can not, however, get backup to initialize. When asked to 'set up Google Drive' I tap that button, select my account and tap OK after which a permissions box pops titled 'Sign in to avast!Backup with Google. I tap OK and, after about three seconds of 'connecting', it comes back to the previous permissions screen. All I can do is back out and cancel, it will not proceed beyond this point.

I have an original Droid Razr with the stock android install and root. I have two factor aith enabled on my google account and this is a google apps account.

Welcome aboard (I notice its your first post here)! I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 (yes I just bought it a couple of months ago) which has stock recovery, stock firmware (Android 4.2.2) and is Rooted. I used C.F. Auto Root.

No problems here while installing. Everything seems to work. The only problem i have is that the "new" features of theft aware like taking photos are missing, but i thing thats because avast doesnt have my imei yet
